Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2013 Chevrolet Cruze uses two distinct filters with different roles: the engine air filter keeps abrasive particles out of the turbocharged 1.4L engine to preserve combustion efficiency and protect internal components, while the cabin air filter screens pollen, dust, and pollutants from the passenger compartment. Keeping both filters in good condition helps maintain the Cruze’s 138 horsepower output and the comfortable, clean interior environment for passengers. At Stevinson Chevrolet in CO, we emphasize a full-system approach—inspecting both filters during routine service and explaining the benefits of OEM replacements. Certified technicians install parts to factory specifications, and we document each inspection and recommendation for transparency. Replacing both filters when needed provides immediate comfort and performance improvements and reduces long-term maintenance costs by preventing premature wear on HVAC and engine systems. To protect your investment and keep your Cruze performing as intended, schedule service online and check current service specials to maximize value.
